you can always cut and paste the url, then remove the http:// and replace the dots in the beginning of the url with spaces. for example - the link to this thread would be: forum xda-developers com/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=30651238

Pretty noobish here...I've rooted my D4 and got the bootsrap and installed the apk, I reboot with it, but what do I do next? Step by step? Thanks.
Here's the thread link:

I saw the safestrap links and didn't know if I needed that but I got it! Just did as you said above, got the bootstrap apk, installed it, told it to bootstrap recovery then reboot to it and loaded the apk for mk7 google now rebooted and it works! yayyyy I've wanted this on my phone really bad for a long time and although D4 may not ever have JB this will suffice for now many thanks!

google now made my bluetooth act funky when trying voice commands, tried to use bootstrap to recover my backup and it failed on system.
I am now doing a fastboot restore
you have been warned.
I know the feeling...been through that with my Atrix, Bionics, RAZR, etc...thank God for the fast boot files! I'll grab those now...
Any additional details would be helpful. Did you try to flash the restore to stock file before trying to flash your back up? And did you use bootstrap to make the original back up or safestrap?
Thanks

I made the backup with the razr bootstrap, tried to restore the backup, it failed on restoring system.
I restored data manually (advanced) then it would go to the red M screen, then a blank screen with the backlight on.
I tried booting into stock recovery and a factory reset, didn't work.
Fastboot did though

I flashed the mikeyxda's version 7 online/offline with Safestrap to my safe system and it caused my safe system to boot loop. Unsafe system is working ok however.

How did you flash mikeyxda's version 7 online/offline to your stock unsafe ROM? Did you install a ROM to the safe side and flash that? When I attempt to flash a zip to the unsafe I get the warning that I cannot flash a .zip in unsafe mode.

Try flashing the bell stock ROM, then Philz, then a custom rom. I assume your phone boots with the stock ROM properly and you receive no errors when flashing a custom ROM.

To clear something up -- does your phone boot after flashing a fastboot? If no, you need to format the internal sd and change it's mount point to /data/media (use Philz CWM to do all that) -- that's a common error after downgrading from a 4.2+ rom to a 4.1.2- rom.

Yep, just boot into recovery and make nandroid backup saved to the external sd before you flash anything (you risk wiping it accidentally if stored to the internal sd). That way if anything goes wrong all you have to do is boot into recovery and restore your backup.

I tried rerooting my phone and every time I flash an image.It just stays at the M and never boots.The reason why I needed to re root my phone was because I needed the HDR fix.Please help.

Get into bootloader mode and flash back to stock system. Be sure and boot into recovery after you flash stock system and then wipe the cache. Then reflash the image you want using mofo. Then wipe the cache after you do, then boot into system.

Are you sure the stock system images is flashing? What image are you flashing?
Also, I don't know what you mean you can't get to the wipe cache screen - it is recovery. I have all of the instructions on how to get into bootloader mode and flash back to stock as well as getting into recovery here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/noob-guide-rooting-verizon-moto-x-2014-t3097375
Also, if you are having trouble flashing the sparsechunks from RJ's site, then you can download the fxz and flash the single image system.img using mfastboot.

OK well there are special instructions on what you need to do the first time you flash an image with Xposed. Both ClydeDroid and mikeoswego have those instructions in their OP with the links to the images.
I've flashed both of these files from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...mages-mofo-t3100601/post60537982#post60537982 and I still get stuck at the M logo.Wiped and didn't wipe cache and still nothing :/

Try wiping data instead of just a factory wipe. Note that this will nuke your sdcard.

So to summarize - you are back on stock and everything works fine? But when you try to flash an image via mofo.exe, it never boots and instead hangs on the M?
That sounds to me like your image is corrupted. I would re-download the image.

Be sure and wipe cache after flashing and let it hang at the M for awhile too before you conclude that it is not going to boot.

Woot.I have root again.I guess it was a dead file.Thanks
Flashed SlimLP and had been succesfully using it for about a month before I decided to **** around with layers (Evolve and Commute specifically). When I reboot to apply it got stuck on the boot animation, I left it to charge overnight and it was still stuck in the morning. Tried wiping the cache partition but don't want to do a factory reset if there's a way to salvage it (nothing too vital, just pain in the ass having to reinstall all my apps, etc.)
Total noob to flashing and ROMS, etc. No backups that I know of, not sure if there's a custom recovery. Only found the Amazon one and Fastboot mode.

Yup
You are lucky you can still access the stock recovery. If your device had 5.1.1 then reinstall FireOS 5.1.1 via stock recovery. From that point you can re-root & reinstall your rom + apps & stuff.
Be thankful you're not bricked & don't screw with layers if you don't have a 5.0.1 device. The Fire does not play well with many layers.

I know on my nexus 6P it has a overlay folder, if you delete that it should delete your layers that you added(if that folder exists on this)
OK I was going to give my Nexus 6 to my brother I got a new phone. So I was going to flash a rom and let him start fresh. Well when I was going to wipe I stupidity wiped internal memory. So now the phone is empty? I did not exit out of recovery so I am still in there is there any thing I can do? Even if I have to go back to stock without root that's fine?

it is a stock rom. Uninstall SuperSU and you're done. It an easy way.

Just remain in recovery mode, download the ROM provided or any other you wish. If you want to get it to stock, that requires fastboot which is up to you depending on the time you have as well as the proper drivers installed on your PC. But anyway, easiest method is to transfer that ROM to your device and flash it from your recovery along with gapps. Afterwards, you can uninstall SuperSU and you won't have root anymore
Your problem will be solved within 10 minutes tops

Man, just reboot to the bootloader and flash manually the latest factory mage. If you don't know and don't care to learn, use nexus root toolkit and be happy.
